The Monsters Love Mallorie

2011-11-03T10:23:00.000-04:00

This piece was done about a year ago, but, for some reason (cough *computer crash *cough*), I lost the original photoshop file. After doing some snooping around on my back up hard drives, I came across it! It's a pic of my Facebook friend, Mallorie, and her love for monsters!

Hope y'all enjoy!

Dragon*Con vs Comic Con!

2011-11-01T22:58:00.000-04:00

Ever wonder which con is better to go to: Dragon*Con or San Diego Comic Con? Well, this article is pretty spot on in pointing out the pluses and minuses of each con. Personally, I'm a Dragon*Con fan myself! It just seems more "fan oriented" to me. I mean, three years ago at the con, I was sitting at a bar and RIGHT to my left was Adam West!

Anyways, take a look at the article and decide for yourself:

Dragon*Con vs. Comic Con!

The Wicked Elphaba

Yes, again, I must confess my secret love for Jem! ;-)

Starfire!

The Purr-fect Woman

2011-10-09T09:33:00.003-04:00

Copic marker sketch of Catwoman (Jim Balent style)! It's based on the purr-fect cosplay of Tantrim Costumes. You can check out her work here:

Tantrim Costumes

One thing that I have had problems with as of late is drawing liknesses to people. It's was like someone had hit the off switch in my head and just shut down the ability to do it in my head. I'm not sure if it was some sort of mental block or just lack of focus, but it was impossible. The remedy to that was Dragon*Con! Seeing so many beautiful costumes and so many people just embracing a culture that they truly love has to be one of the most inspiring things ever. Being able to see and meet so many artists and childhood heroes face to face just instantly gave me the drive to want to do better.

Ever since I came back from the con, i have been on a drawing frenzy (as you can see lol). I've been trying to focus more on drawings related to peoples likenesses (hence all the pics of cosplayers lately), just so I can get back into the daily grind of things and, potentially, get some real work accomplished. :-)

Hopefully, you have been liking the new pieces! Many more to come! :-)

The Maleficent BelleChere

2011-09-16T19:13:00.005-04:00

Gray marker sketch of the marvelous BelleChere as Maleficent (J. Scott Campbell style) from Sleeping Beauty. Let me tell you that seeing this costume in the flesh at Dragon*Con was one of the highlights of the con for me. Truly amazing and probably one of the best crafted costumes that I had ever seen in person.

To see her spectacular cosplays, check them out here:

BelleChere!

Lady Jaye

2011-09-14T22:37:00.003-04:00

Fiona from Adventure Time!

Dragon*Con 2011!

2011-09-10T17:27:00.010-04:00

Dragon*Con never fails to disappoint in awesomeness. After having not been able to go last year, I made double to effort to make sure that I would be there for the 25th anniversary of the con. TO say that it was nuts would be an understatement. There were people EVERYWHERE! Not only that, but, at one point, I literally counted 1 out of every 7th person to be in some sort of costume!

The best part about the con is that it gives me the chance to meet and hang out with so many Facebook friends from all over. Cosplayers such as Riddle, Marie-Claude Bourbonnais, Kearstin Nicholson, and BelleChere and fellow pin up artists Amano Jyaku and Scott Blair were just a few of some of the uber-talented people that attended the con.

While I was up there, I managed to get a few drawings in while relaxing in the hotel room:

Marie-Claude Bourbonnais

Riddle as Snow White

Sketches for Scott

2011-08-30T11:25:00.003-04:00

This was done for a sketch trade with superstar artist Scott Blair at Dragon*Con this year. Super honored that he would want something done by me in the first place!

I have juice boxes!

Mystery Sketch Theater 8/3/11

2011-08-05T18:19:00.003-04:00

Here are a few sketches from last Wednesday's Mystery Sketch Theater event at A Comic Shop. I hadn't been in a couple of months, so it was just nice to be able to get back into the groove of things (or, at least, attempt to). I'm not too happy with how they came out, but I guess its a good thing that I was actually able to do SOMETHING, right? Also, in my lack of drawing recently (also known as laziness, in some states), several of my copic markers have started to give up on me! Looks like it's time to head to the ol' art store for the season and do some serious shopping. *sigh* So, so much to do and work on....

You know what I need? A montage! ("Even Rocky had a montage....")

Oh, and Dragon*Con is almost here! Damn skippy!

Lady Two-Face

2011-08-02T19:37:00.003-04:00

Lady Two-Face, inspired by the amazing cosplay of Meagan Marie. This piece was done with a combination of warm and cool grey copic markers.

You can check out her mind blowing work here:

Amy Winehouse 1983-2011

2011-07-24T11:15:00.005-04:00

On a more dismal note, it saddens me to hear about the death of Amy Winehouse. My good friend, Maxx, turned me on to her music a few years ago before she hit it big here in the states. Her music and soulful styling have inspired me oh so many times. Rather it be during a simple drawing session or just a long car ride after a hectic day, Winehouse's music just had a way of capturing a soul and just telling it to " just relax". Back to Black is probably one of the few albums that I can listen to from start to finish on repeat and never get tired of it. She was just that damn good! Say what you want about her outside antics and tumultuous personal life, but you can't deny the sheer amount of talent and presence that woman displayed in her music. Without her, the world might not have been given the proper chance to embrace newer international talents such as Adele.

Addiction is a powerful thing and not something that should ever be taken likely. The inner demons of the soul are a powerful thing to deal with and overcome. It's truly heartbreaking to see that the world has lost yet another gifted young talent to pressures of stardom.

May you rest in peace, Amy Winehouse.

"Back in the game, baby!"

2011-07-24T11:07:00.000-04:00

It's been a busy time these past couple of months and, unfortunately, none of it has been art related. Between health issues and moving, it just feels like any type of productive work has been pushed to a screeching halt. My drawing hand is just itching to get back into the swing of things. I have tons of new ideas that I have just been waiting to try to put on paper, but, between all of the personal life craziness mentioned above, i just haven't been able to make anything work. Here's to hoping that once the final box is unpacked here at the new place, things can go back to normal!

The Marvelous Mary Marvel

2011-06-26T21:54:00.002-04:00

A Copic marker sketch of Mary Marvel. Haven't done one of these in a while, so i'm a bit rusty. Not only that, but the copics are starting to die a bit too. Looks like it's time for ol' Chris to just suck it up and get a fresh new set. LOL!

Megacon 2011

2011-04-10T10:28:00.009-04:00

I haven't posted on here in a while, so i guess it's time to slap down a fresh and nifty update. Megacon 2011 was a couple of weeks ago and it was a blast. It's probably one of my favortie times of the year (well that and Dragon*Con).

I will tell you one thing though, it was NUTS this year. I have NEVER seen so many people at Megacon in the 13+ years that i have gone. It's about time that the show gets the numbers and notoriety that it deserves. Yeah, it's a pain to move about on days like that, but just the sheer amount of amazing costumes that were roaming around was just astounding. Check out my Facebook album here to see some of the greatness:

The Evolution of Jean Grey

2011-03-10T08:03:00.002-05:00

Continuing on the Jean Grey kick, i decided to draw her in her X-Men: Evolution costume! This picture has been such a relief, as, after months of frustration, i was finally able to finish a colored digital piece! Hopefully, this will be the start of many to come in the near future....

Jean Grey- New X-Men style!

Sketch card commissions!

2011-02-27T10:37:00.005-05:00

A few sketch card commissions that I did recently...

I still have a few blank Iron Man 2 sketch cards if anyone is interested for a commission.

Scarlet Witch

Golden Age Woman Woman

2011-02-09T19:06:00.003-05:00

Warm/cold gray copic sketch of Golden Age Wonder Woman!

Damien's Cat

2011-02-09T18:51:00.004-05:00

Fellow artist Damien George-Cox put his own little spin on my Black Cat drawing! Damien digitally painted over my drawing and added his own, unique flair to it! Completely awesome!

It's so weird to see two different styles interpret the same thing!

Felicia is back!

2011-02-08T08:11:00.004-05:00

Yet another sketch of the lovely Felicia Hardy a.k.a. The Black Cat from Marvel Comics. I would have to say that her, along with Power Girl, are my current favorite characters to draw (and no, it's not because of specific reasons lol).

Over the weekend, i stumbled upon something that changed the entire way i do marker sketches: A tutorial video from Adam Hughes. Watching this was like me relearning the alphabet. It's just astonishes me to see how he can turn a blank piece of paper to a masterpiece in like 10 minutes! Just awe inspiring!

With this pic, i decided to attempt to try out some of the things that i learned from the video. Adding such things as colored pencils and better combinations of grays was the main thing i was trying to accomplish here. Hopefully, you guys think that it's somewhat decent :-)

Last Sketch of January

2011-01-28T19:03:00.003-05:00

DC/Vertigo's Death

It's Illogical

2011-01-26T19:59:00.002-05:00

Still trying to get the hang of the mixed gray copics. I drew this one on Sunday, thus finally ending a drought of not being able to draw squat (well, hopefully, at least). I dont know...you just have one of those times where every time you try to put something on paper, it turns into mush right before your eyes? I'm thinking it's because the big 3-2 is creeping up on me next week....grr.....

Victoria Hand

2011-01-26T19:02:00.000-05:00

I would have to say that she was probably my favorite character of the whole Dark Reign saga by Marvel Comics. Ha, she was the main reason that I read Dark Avengers! I'm glad that she got to stick around after Siege was over. What an awesome character!

First sketch cards of the new year!

2011-01-15T09:06:00.003-05:00

Recently, i've been trying to experiment with the use of adding warm grays to my sketch cards and sketches. I can't quite say that i've gotten the hang of it yet, but i think its getting there right?

Tex Hex from Bravestarr

Simon Belmont from Captain N: The Game Master

Rapture, from the Stingers (featured on Jem)

January- Dr. Sketchy's

2011-01-06T09:20:00.003-05:00

Sketches from January's Dr. Sketchy's event! This month, the lovely model was the ever amazing Ivy Les Vixens, dressed as a unicorn.

Check out her work here

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=1166311703

Also, here was my warm up sketch for the night:

Ms. Hardy

2010-12-30T23:44:00.002-05:00

A rough sketch of the lovely Black Cat, done in warm and cold grey Copic markers. Half of my markers were on their way out during the sketch, so what could be a better way then sending them off with a drawing of Ms. Hardy?

Happy New Year everyone!

Resolutions for 2011!

2010-12-25T21:42:00.003-05:00

Well, it's that time again....New Year's Resolution time! Each year, I make a list of characters that i hope to draw in the new year. I really slacked off the previous year, only completing a couple from the list. LOL Unfortunately, this year wasn't too much different.

1. Atom Eve (from Invincible)
2. Elastic-Girl (from The Incredibles)
3. Brandy or Jen (from Liberty Meadows)
4. Molly or Sister Grimm (from Runaways)
5. Bayonetta (that one is going to be tooooooooough!)
6. Felicia (from Darkstalkers)
7. Storm (Classic Design)
8 Loki (in female form, just because I haven't done a full body version yet)
9. The Baroness
10. Dejah Thoris

Out of all of them i only did 7 and 9..in sketchcard/sketch form no less. To my defense though, it has been an pretty hectic year, with me moving and all. Plus, the commissions have been really good this year (Thank you, John!) and I met the most amazing woman in the world in my dear Tracey. Even still, next year, i plan on actually doing more characters off of my resolution list. Enough with the formalities though...here is the 2011 list:

1. Terra (from Power Girl/ Terrra mini-series)
2. Ms. Marvel
3. Zatanna
4. Brandy or Jen (from Liberty Meadows)
5. The Enchantress (full body drawing)
6. Black Cat (full body drawing)
7. Emma Frost
8. Miss Martian
9. Phantom Lady
10. Abbey Chase or Sydney Savage (from Danger Girl)

Hopefully, i can knock out some of these in the near future as well as do an abundance of pin up drawings, as i have been slacking in that category too. Also, if any of you out there in internet land have some request/suggestions as to who to draw, i'm all for hearing them! :-)

I would like to give thanks to those of you out there that actually take a look at this blog. Yeah, i admit that its not most entertaining thing out there and its pretty plain and generic, but i really do appreciate each and every visit that you guys and gals make to this page. Coming from an average guy who just likes to draw, it truly means a lot to me that there are a few people out there that take a genuine interest in my work. Thanks so much and here's to everyone having a stellar year next year!

A recent commission i did of Andromeda for: http://bustysuperherochick.blogspot.com/

Flight of the Phoenix

2010-12-08T14:36:00.004-05:00

The magnificent Jean Grey as Phoenix, from Marvel's X-Men comics.

Recently, i've been trying to alter my coloring style a little bit, just to experiment with a painted look for some parts. I've been referencing and studying the works of the great Serge Birault. It's unbelievable that he does this in Photoshop. Check out his spectacular work here:

http://sergebirault.blogspot.com/

The Great Gazoo(s)

2010-12-04T02:28:00.001-05:00

I had been seeing all of these different challenges on Deviant for quite some time about interpreting a character in the form of the opposite sex, so i thought i would take a crack at it.

Here's my female interpretation of the Great Gazoo from The Flintstones.

2011 PoP! FanGirl of the Month

The Drowning Pumpkin

2010-11-09T08:10:00.007-05:00

Ok, this has to be one of the coolest things i have ever seen! An awesome artist named Fikers decided to make my Drowned Ophelia drawing from Brutal Legend into a Halloween pumpkin!

Again, many thanks to Fikers and her amazing craftsmanship!

Dr. Sketchy's 11/10

2010-11-06T10:28:00.001-04:00

Warm up sketch from this month's Dr. Sketchy's event.

The Riddle of Loki

2010-11-01T11:12:00.006-04:00

Copic marker sketch of Loki, inspired by the amazing Riddle!

Check out her amazing work here:

I hope that someday and somehow, Marvel will find a way to include this design of Loki permanently into their universe. It doesn't have to be on Loki, per say, but it's too good of a design to just be lost in the shuffle (eyebrows or no eyebrows even).

Andromeda's back!

2010-10-24T16:06:00.002-04:00

Another commission of Andromeda! I have to admit that she has been a true pleasure to draw! Love the design and it's been so fun to be able to interpret her in my art style. Hopefully, i'll have more opportunities in the future to draw her again.

Red Sonja Test Sketch

2010-10-09T15:22:00.002-04:00

A warm up sketch i did recently to try out warm gray copic markers. I've never really dealt with them before and they are quite a different "animal" from the cool grays.

The Mummerman

Commission piece that i did for my friend, Curt, of his character,

Here's a sketch of Cannonball that I did for my friend Jenn's birthday! Cannonball is her all time favorite X-Man, so it's only fitting that she gets a drawing of him for her special day. My apologies for the crappy quality. I forgot to actually scan the pic before I gave it to her! D'oh!

Mad Moxxi Meagan!

2010-09-18T13:33:00.000-04:00

Tribute to the amazing cosplay of Borderlands' Mad Moxxi by Meagan VanBurkleo.

Check out her work here:

I've wanted to draw one of her cosplays for years now, but could never pinpoint which one of her kick @$$ costumes I wanted to put into my work. When the pics from Comic Con emerged this year, the decision was clear as day! Mad Moxxi all the way!

For a special treat, here is a pic of the drawing when it was in it's intial sketching/inking phase:

Random stuff dump!

2010-09-17T00:16:00.002-04:00

When I started this blog a few years ago, i had originally intended it to be a place where i would post stuff that i normally wouldn't post on Facebook/Myspace/Deviantart. Well, that went out the window reaaaaally quick LOL After slacking off enough in that department, its finally time to get back to the original plan. Sooooooo, here are a handful of random drawings that i've just doodled around with over the past few months...

My ever loving girlfriend dared me to draw a koala. So i did.

Below are a few random sketches i did while fooling around on my lunch hour at work:

And finally, a piece that i have been working on for a little while for a friend. She's a big monster movie buff, so i am trying my best to incorporate some of the classic movie monsters of the past into the piece. Here's to hoping that i get it finished before the end of the year...

The Warm Up!

2010-09-04T12:07:00.002-04:00

Warm up sketch that i did right before the Dr. Sketchy's event started at Tatame this month.

LIft with your legs!

2010-09-01T13:27:00.000-04:00

This was based on a marker sketch that i did probably about 7 years ago. It was an inside joke that went a bit too far. I decided to redraw it just to see how i might interpret it differently. I tell you one thing...it's really weird to redraw something you did such a long time ago. It's also gives you a pretty warm and fuzzy feeling to see how far you have come as an artist.

Group hug, everyone!

Storm

2010-08-18T17:55:00.002-04:00

A recent piece i did for a friend's birthday.

Haven't drawn Storm too much, outside of a couple of ketch cards for Marvel. I studied copic marker work from a few of the ever awesome Adam Hughes' drawings to do the cloud background and some of the shadings. I don't know how that man does it (and so easy at that!)

Power Girl? Again?!

More Andromeda

2010-08-01T14:02:00.003-04:00

Another commission i did of Andromeda:

Andromeda!

2010-08-01T13:47:00.014-04:00

Here are some commissions that i did for the Busty Superhero Chick blog.

The story about this one above is that the character, Andromeda, has the DC Comics' superhero, The Atom, jumping from out of her cleavage. It's a reference to a Justice League Unlimited episode "Dark Heart" where he did the same thing with Wonder Woman.

A sketchcard that was used as the profile pic for the blog.

2010-06-21T07:12:00.004-04:00

I can't believe that i hadn't posted this like a year ago! I must be slipping in my old age! Here's a drawing of my all time favorite heroine, Power Girl. I think it's about time to do an updated pic of PeeGee, don't ya think?

Look Before You Leap!

2010-06-13T12:00:00.001-04:00

An oooooooooooold drawing from 2007 that i did a joke for a friend.
I think it still holds true to this day! LOL

Emma Frost

2010-05-28T00:06:00.002-04:00

A colored sketch of the astonishing Emma Frost from the Astonishing X-Men series. This costume, in particular, is from the Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis series by Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews. LOL I can't wait for the cosplayers out there to get a hold of that design. Truly awesome!

The Black Falcon

2010-05-28T00:03:00.002-04:00

Another City of Heroes commission. This one is of Black Falcon. I have to tell ya...these City of Heroes commissions are fun as hell! So much creativity and orgininality in these characters. I could do these all day and all night. lol

Also, if you are interested in a commission, send me a email at bigchrisgallery@aol.com

Pourquoi?

2010-05-26T09:28:00.000-04:00

Trying to get back into the habit of using actual people for references again. Yeah, i'm a bit rusty, but thats what practice is for, right? This one is of the WWE Diva Maryse! What a great heel she is!

Cherubae

2010-05-07T11:32:00.005-04:00

Another character from my childhood. This one is of Cherubae, the intergalactic goddess from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics from Archie. Yeah, she's pretty obscure and only appeared in a handful of TMNT books, but i've always had a affinity for her. Loved her design and colors!
